A tried-and-true wardrobe rule, plain white T-shirt was NO.1
on our target fashion basics list. Stock them up so that you won’t feel guilty
if you have to toss it away eventually. Because if something spends a lot of
time just as a layering piece, hidden under other items, don't invest too much
on it.

2. Trendy sunglasses

Sunnies are one of the fashion basic items that likely to
get lost a lot, and the trendier they got, the faster you may get sick of them
cause soon they will be outdated. Spend more on the classic black ones that
you'll wear forever, but go low when doing strange shapes or unusual colors.

3. Thongs

It’s OK to spend more for a brilliantly fitting bra, but not
to shell out extra money for basics like thongs. While it's important for your
undies to feel good, there are so many wallet-friendly choices out there to
warrant spending lots on something so little.

4. Sweatpants

It makes sense to splash out on a designer pair if you wear
sweats a lot. Hold the thought though, as there's little difference between a
$20 pair and a $200 one since the cut and fabrication can essentially be
identical.

5. Totes

When it comes to bags, you can save up and spend more on a
classic one, but not a roomy tote. But remember there are plenty of good,
well-made leather versions that won't eat into your budget too much, and the
minimalistic nature of the style makes it tricky for people to instantly know
how much you spent.

6. Trousers

When it comes to your work wardrobe, you'll get more ROI on
unique blouses and blazers than slacks. Saving here is easy, since options for
work pants abound at national chains that cater to shoppers needing a
professional wardrobe. You can save that care cost too since the
wallet-friendly pairs aren't as likely to have the dreaded dry-clean only
labels.

Apart from the items I mentioned above, there are still a
lot of fashion basics that you can go cheap on. Now that you know these tips, you
can share it with your friends, maybe you will learn some saving tips from them
too, and when that happens, it’s gonna be so much appreciated if you tell us
more about the tips you know and make this fashion
guide more
